tomorrow. history in the polls would indicate that, for example, california will go to the democrats and texas to the republicans. which means the outcome of this election will actually be decided in just a handful of states. this has been the most extensive and expensive election in history. the romney campaign has probably done all it can to secure victory. now america must decide if he's the right man to lead the country. >> for more on how this race is shaping up in these very final hours, i'm joined by jim gilmore. he's the former republican governor of virginia and nia who served in the clinton and obama administrations. governor, let me start with you. virginia, i have to ask you, how is it looking for mitt romney? >> he looks very good for mitt romney. i think he's quite likely to carry virginia. but it's very close. so a lot depends upon how things turn out tomorrow, who's excited about going to vote. but it looks like romney's going to carry virginia. >> we'll be watching your state tomorrow night but let me ask you this. if you look at the state of the american economy and

national guard is often called to the rescue, but when the california air national guard got to the east coast last week following hurricane sandy, they were met with a rude reality. what happened to the local national guard troops who heeded the call of hurricane sandy? >> reporter: there is still a lot of activity going on here at moffett field today as the local air national guard unit gets ready for the next emergency situation. after returning from a hurricane sandy mission that in a sense never got off the ground. workers for the california air national guard 129th rescue wing are making sure its helicopters are ready for the next time. the helicopters were loaded on to a transport plane and along with about 100 airmen headed out to the east coast for possible rescue operations for then hurricane sandy. today some said they were ready for anything. >> swift water rescue to picking people off of house tops with the helicopters, providing medical care, whatever we need to do, we'll be ready to do it. >> reporter: but it didn't happen. the 129th commander says the national guard

united states are voting on in california it's proposition thirty seven this would require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered food the food industry is fighting this issue but polls show that this will probably half the polls in california don't close until eleven pm eastern now in colorado voters are deciding if they should legalize marijuana and with twenty one percent reporting it's fifty two percent to forty eight percent in support of the measure that does call for legalizing marijuana and regulating like we do alcohol and washington state also has a marijuana reform vote on the ballot pulling a show that measure is likely to pass and i think we did see it passed in massachusetts is that right yup that was medical marijuana. so it's going to be interesting to see this administration i think they're going to change their tune some of these issues also four states are voting on gay marriage and for the first time backers of marriage equality believe it will be approved at the ballot box residents of washington state are voting on that issues there and all the p

themselves, even in california, even in hawaii, even in most liberal places have had chance to vote they said we want marriage to be between man and woman. the polling on this it always ends up being larger majority for those favoring traditional marriage on the actual election day than what the polls normally show. if it's a dead heat in places like maine right now, my guess is, marriage is going to win. >> remember when and if the supreme court gets this case it is likely to go off on constitutional grounds. think for a moment. whether you want to vote on most of what the constitution today allows or prohibits. i'm not surprised. particularly i'm not surprised because almost all of these referenda came on very early before you saw the transformation we now see in the voting public. they came on who put them on. those who were always against same sex marriage. the people are only catching up to them now, i concede that this is one of the great transformations, issues of all times. it's not going to happen in one fell swoop but it is happening. >> i just think the country is divided

240, because we don't campaign in illinois. we don't campaign in california, we don't campaign in new york, massachusetts. >> it used to be the other way around. >> california is something, brendan is right about hispanics. california is the place for republicans. i think the party has to be reborn there. but keep in mind, if you look at 2000 and 2004, a lot of these things were said about bush. the party moving in the wrong direction. bush won those in those years because he had powerful based motivation. in some sense karl rove is right. you can win a race with just your base. >> the country has changed in the last eight years. look at what obama was able to mobilize. new voters. he was brilliant about that. look at florida and a number of states where he registered college voters. >> i still say as close as this was, if you had a republican base that was enthused about their candidate, romney could have won tonight. even with obama starting out with something like 240 electoral votes. >> i disagree with that. as a democrat i'm happy about that. as a republican i'm not happy abo

his vote against california began and the way that the republicans campaigned against sotomayor. it's amazing they have been left out. >> and knowing how important women are to the obama campaign. if he does get women above 56% and particularly if younger women don't turn out, then obama's chances may be doomed. and knowing that, why not emphasize i apointed two women to the supreme court who were the third and fourth women ever appointed to the court in the history of the country. they may have missed an opportunity. >> they did draw a sharp distinction with the republicans. in large part because they had such -- it's so easy to do that. especially with paul ryan on the ticket. there have been anti-abortion on the past, but never one with a legislative trail like paul ryan's. and mitt romney has gone almost as extreme as mr. ryan has in overturning roe versus wade. he would do that against the contraception hostility. i can see on women's issues in particular, you want to be on offense talking about your own record. >> but this was governor romney's bet. the time for spin is over. no

segment tonight, miller time. the sage of southern california is in chicago this evening where he has been mulling over mitt romney's defeat. miller, what say you? >> well, let's see, first off, i just saw dick morris' dog out on michigan avenue dubs and he was that knawing on a boe made out of hemlock. >> bill: not a good day for the morris meister. >> secondly i want to say that i have met romney, folks. i know a lot of have you been convinced that this guy is the problem with america. he is not. he is a very good man. he cares greatly for this country. i have actually talked to him in the last, well, emailed him in the last day. is he a great patriot. i know that that side is going to paint him as the trouble with america. if he he is the trouble with america. folks, this country does have a lot, a lot of problems. >> bill: i didn't hear any of that today, painting romney as a problem other than he didn't run his campaign as effectively. >> i have got to jump. in i only have a few minutes here i have got it use my time. >> bill: sure. >> if you haven't heard them over the last

an earthquake shakes southern california near northridge. meanwhile, in massachusetts, a little known businessman, willard mitt romney, announces his candidacy for the united states senate as a republican. it's his first run for political office. and his foe? one of the biggest icons of american politics, senator ted kennedy. >> some of us wondered, why would you want to take on ted kennedy in massachusetts as your first political task? and he was very committed, very engaged. >> in fact, the 1994 massachusetts senate race would be a fascinating precursor to the 2012 presidential election with many of the same issues and campaign tactics put in play by both sides. romney, playing up his business success, his opponent questioning it, and questions about romney's religion, the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. but in 1994, it was ted kennedy, a five-term senator, who seemed vulnerable, coming off the well publicized 1991 rape trial of his nephew, william kennedy smith. even though smith is acquitted, the political damage to kennedy is clear. in 1994-'94, ted kennedy was somew
